Suse » Suse Linux » 8.1 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

Multiple buffer overflows in ulogd for SUSE Linux 9.3 up to 10.1, and possibly other distributions, have unknown impact and attack vectors related to "improper string length calculations."

exif.c in PHP before 4.3.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via an EXIF header with a large IFD nesting level, which causes significant stack recursion.

Multiple vulnerabilities in xli before 1.17 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "buffer management errors" from certain image properties, some of which may be related to integer overflows in PPM files.

xloadimage before 4.1-r2, and xli before 1.17, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames for compressed images, which are not properly quoted when calling the gunzip command.

scan.c for LibXPM may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative bitmap_unit value that leads to a buffer overflow.

Buffer overflow in digestmd5.c CVS release 1.170 (also referred to as digestmda5.c), as used in the DIGEST-MD5 SASL plugin for Cyrus-SASL but not in any official releases, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Postfix 2.1.3, when /proc/net/if_inet6 is not available and permit_mx_backup is enabled in smtpd_recipient_restrictions, allows remote attackers to bypass e-mail restrictions and perform mail relaying by sending mail to an IPv6 hostname.

Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.5.x, and 2.6.x allows NFS clients to cause a denial of service via O_DIRECT.

The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.

Buffer overflow in the PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to execute arbitrary code by setting the PERLIO_DEBUG variable and executing a Perl script whose full pathname contains a long directory tree.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ht://dig (htdig) before 3.1.6-r7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML via the config parameter, which is not properly sanitized before it is displayed in an error message.

Heap-based buffer overflow in psd.c for ImageMagick 6.1.0, 6.1.7, and possibly earlier versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .PSD image file with a large number of layers.

Opera 7.54 and earlier uses kfmclient exec to handle unknown MIME types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a shortcut or launcher that contains an Exec entry.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the VideoCD (VCD) code in xine-lib 1-rc2 through 1-rc5, as derived from libcdio, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a VideoCD with an unterminated disk label.

Unknown vulnerability in the system call filtering code in the audit subsystem for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via unknown vectors.

Race condition in the (1) load_elf_library and (2) binfmt_aout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.

Race condition in SuSE Linux 8.1 through 9.2, when run on SMP systems that have more than 4GB of memory, could allow local users to read unauthorized memory from "foreign memory pages."

SUSE Linux before 9.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server before 9 do not properly check commands sent to CD devices that have been opened read-only, which could allow local users to conduct unauthorized write activities to modify the firmware of associated SCSI devices.

The EPSF pipe support in enscript 1.6.3 allows remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Buffer underflow in extfs.c in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

fish.c in midnight commander allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via "insecure filename quoting," possibly using shell metacharacters.

direntry.c in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service by "manipulating non-existing file handles."

a2ps 4.13 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the filename.

Integer overflow in the Samba daemon (smbd) in Samba 2.x and 3.0.x through 3.0.9 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a Samba request with a large number of security descriptors that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Multiple vulnerabilities in Konqueror in KDE 3.3.1 and earlier (1) allow access to restricted Java classes via JavaScript and (2) do not properly restrict access to certain Java classes from the Java applet, which allows remote attackers to bypass sandbox restrictions and read or write arbitrary files.
